A basis for the space of modular forms

Abstract: Let

G_{2 n}

be the Eisenstein series of weight

2 n

for the full modular group

. It is well-known that the space

M_{2 k}

of modular forms of weight

2 k

on

G a m m a

has a basis

. In this paper we will exhibit another (simpler) basis for

M_{2 k}

. It is given by

G_{2 k} c u p G_{4 i} G_{2 k - 4 i} | i = 1, 2, l d o t s, d_{k}

if

2 k e q u i v 0 p m o d 4

, and

G_{2 k} c u p G_{4 i + 2} G_{2 k - 4 i - 2} | i = 1, 2, l d o t s, d_{k}

if

2 k e q u i v 2 p m o d 4

where

d_{k} + 1 = d i m_{C C} M_{2 k}

.
